Anthony Joshua in Round 1-2 (+150) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Joshua demolished Francis Ngannou in two rounds back in March 2024, scoring two knockdowns before finishing him in Round 2. Paul's defensive flaws are far more exploitable than Ngannou's, as he drops his hands constantly and struggles with footwork when under pressure.

Joshua holds a 5-inch height advantage, 6-inch reach edge, and weighs 25 pounds heavier. The former unified champion has knocked out three of his last four opponents, and Paul represents the weakest competition Joshua has faced in years.

Anthony Joshua 2+ knockdowns (+100) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Joshua's finishing sequences typically feature multiple knockdowns before the referee stops the fight. Against Ngannou, he scored knockdowns in both the first and second rounds, demonstrating his ability to capitalize once he finds his timing. 

Paul crosses his feet during exchanges and lacks proper head movement to avoid follow-up shots after getting tagged. Against Tommy Fury, Paul's only fight against a legitimate boxer, his defensive gaps were exposed repeatedly. Joshua's combination punching will create multiple scoring opportunities.

Anthony Joshua to win in 60 seconds (+1140) ⭐⭐

The massive skill set disparity in this bout suggests Joshua may look to make a statement early and erase any doubts about this matchup's legitimacy. These long odds offer a chance to capitalize on some early fight bedlam. It’s still a dart throw, though, so bet accordingly.

 Paul has never faced power like Joshua's, and the opening exchanges will be critical. If Joshua lands clean in the first minute, Paul's defensive limitations and lack of elite-level experience could lead to an immediate finish. At +1140 odds, this offers tremendous value for a fighter whose trademark is devastating knockout power.
